Kate Dorman used to have it all: a great job as a stockbroker, a sexy husband, and a cute kid. Now, what should have been a fun-filled retirement is turning into a lonely, drawn-out affair for one with nothing but the bills from the divorce lawyer to show for it. Oh, and that cute kid? Yeah, he’s all grown up…and living on Kate’s couch after losing yet another job. At least she’ll always have Furball, her twelve-pound Siamese cat. Of course, the universe has a funny way of showing you things always could be worse. It’s when Kate is out walking, blowing off steam, that she realizes she could be stuffed in the trunk of a car and left to die. That’s what has happened to Terri Gilmore. When Kate helps free Terri, after hearing her cries for help, she sets off a series of events that will turn her once-quiet days very busy. In trying to find Terri’s abductors, Kate discovers an international ring of retirement scammers. She also finds another chance at love, this time with the frustrating yet intriguing detective also investigating Terri’s abduction. Of course, life can always get worse, as Kate keeps learning. Someone wants her to stop investigating. And they won’t stop till Kate is dead.
